nvvopn The Race for Containment 對抗新型冠狀病毒 全球防疫大作戰！ An Overview of the Coronavirus and the Measures Taken to Avoid an Epidemic ROBYN CURNOW, CNN ANCHOR So, scientists are trying to figure out just how quickly this virus is spreading. Of course, we’ve heard from Xi Jinping that it’s accelerating, but how dangerous is it as well? Sanjay Gupta explains for us. Sanjay. DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CORRESPONDENT One of the questions we get often is: how similar is this to SARS? And it’s worth pointing out that this is the same family of viruses—this new virus and the SARS virus. You can take a look at it, there. That’s the coronavirus. It’s named that because corona is crown, and you can see that has a crown. What we know is that some time in December, the virus started spreading from animals to humans. We knew that that was happening, and then we also learned that it was spreading [from] human to human—that’s what really got the public health’s [health] communities’ attention on this. And what we now know is that this is spreading [from] human to human, fourth generation, which is exactly what it sounds like—someone spreads it to someone else, they spread it to several more people, and so on and so on. And that’s where the spread and the concern about this becoming more widespread really comes from. Now, when you look at a pathogen like this … take a quick look at this box … there’s [there are] two things that matter, really: how quickly it spreads—what I was just talking about—and then, how deadly it is. If it’s not that deadly [and] doesn’t spread that much, that would put you in the A box. The concern is … the worst-case scenario is that this goes into the D box, there—highly transmissible and highly lethal as well. As far as the containment efforts, I mean, it’s chaos, as you’ve probably seen now in … at least in this area—around Wuhan. Tens of millions of people who are on lockdown—meaning they’re not allowing vehicles in or vehicles to go out. This is a … it’s a very strong policy; it’s an aggressive policy; it’s typically a policy that is done later in stages of an outbreak as opposed to this early. And it’s unclear whether China’s just being very aggressive or whether they are dealing with data that we are not yet familiar with because it is an aggressive policy over there. They’re also recommending everyone wear masks, for example, in Wuhan. And just a quick tidbit, I’ll tell you. The masks, as you might imagine, are not going to stop viral particles from getting into your nose and your mouth. They can get through the mask or around the mask. What they really do more than anything else, as I’ve seen covering these stories, is that they prevent you from touching your nose and your mouth, which is also one of the most common ways this virus is transmitted. CNN主播 蘿蘋．柯諾 科學家正致力於了解這個病毒傳播得究竟有多快。當然，我們聽到了習近平指稱病毒的散播正在加速，但是這個病毒有多危險呢？桑杰．古普塔要為我們說明。桑杰。 CNN特派員 桑杰．古普塔醫師 我們經常聽到的其中一個問題是，這和SARS的相似度有多高？值得指出的是，這是屬於同一個家族的病毒——這種新病毒和SARS病毒。各位可以看一下這個病毒，那邊。那就是冠狀病毒。會取那個名字是因為冠就是頭冠，各位可以看到它有王冠狀的東西。 我們知道的是，在十二月的某個時候，這種病毒開始從動物傳播到人類身上。我們知道那樣的情形發生了，接著我們又得知這種病毒也開始人傳人——那才真正引起了公衛社群對這件事的關注。而我們現在知道的是，這種病毒已經出現了人傳人的第四代感染，意思正是字面上聽起來那樣——某個人把這種病毒傳給別人，那些人再把病毒傳給更多人，一傳十、十傳百。病毒的傳播以及對於疫情更加氾濫的憂慮就是那麼來的。 觀察像這樣的病原體的時候……快速看一下這個格子……真正重要的是兩件事：傳播的速度有多快——就是我剛剛所談的，接著是致命程度有多高。 如果致命性沒那麼高，傳播力也沒那麼強，就會歸在A這一格。令人擔憂的是……最糟的情況就是這種病毒屬於D這一格，那邊——傳播性高，而且致死率也高。 至於防堵工作，實在是一團亂，就像各位現在可能已經看到的，在……至少在這個區域——在武漢周圍是。數千萬人遭到封鎖，意思是他們不允許車輛進出。這是一種……這是一種非常強硬的政策、是一種激烈的政策；通常是在疫情爆發比較後期的階段才會出此下策，而不是這麼早。不清楚中國究竟只是作風很積極，還是說他們面對的是我們還不曉得的數據，因為那裡的政策確實很激烈。 比如說，他們也建議所有在武漢的人戴上口罩。我要告訴各位一項小知識。各位可想而知，口罩是無法阻止病毒粒子進入你的口鼻的。它們可以穿越口罩或從口罩邊緣進入。我在報導這些新聞時觀察到，口罩真正的效果莫過於避免你觸摸自己的鼻子和嘴巴，這也是這種病毒最常見的一種傳播途徑。 專題報導 Global Epidemic 新型冠狀病毒肆虐！世衛列為國際公衛緊急事件 WHO Declares Coronavirus a Global Health Emergency as Virus Continues to Spread 世界衛生組織在1月3 0日將爆發於中國武漢的新型冠狀病毒疫情提升為國際關注的緊急公共衛生事件，全球各國繃緊神經，全面防疫。 專題報導 The Race for Containment 對抗新型冠狀病毒 全球防疫大作戰！ An Overview of Coronavirus and the Measures Taken to Avoid an Epidemic 導致此波疫情的是可人傳人、高變異性的新型冠狀病毒。面對前所未見的病毒，科學家加緊研究腳步，盼釐清病毒特性，早日找出預防及治療的方式。 社會 A Regal Split 哈利王子與梅根拋出震撼彈 放棄王室身分 Friction in the Royal Family as Harry and Meghan Announce Plans to Step Back 英國哈利王子與妻子梅根透過IG宣布將退居王室幕後，震驚各界！本文報導王室的回應，並點出兩人日後可能面臨的問題。 經濟 Brexit: Round Two 英國脫歐之後 真正的考驗才剛要開始 Britain Leaves the EU, But It Is Far from Over 英國在1月31日正式脫歐，但這可不是故事的結局，該國和歐盟仍須在11個月內達成全面貿易協定，若談判破裂，英國還是有可能陷入無協議脫歐的窘境。 商業 Jeans for All 從工作褲到文化象徵──Levi’s的百年演進 How Levi’s Went from Workmen’s Wear to a Cultural Icon 牛仔褲創始品牌Levi’s走過淘金熱、大蕭條，經歷股票二度上市，持續在21世紀引領時尚，風靡新一代的潮男潮女。 娛樂 Oscars Highlights 2020奧斯卡落幕 韓國電影《寄生上流》為大贏家 The Glitz and Glamour of the 92nd Academy Awards 第92屆奧斯卡金像獎創下歷史紀錄，首度由非英語片《寄生上流》拿下最佳影片獎。本文回顧本屆奧斯卡精彩花絮。 體育 Speed and Pedigree 與生俱來的極速基因──保時捷 Checking Out Porsche’s Legendary Racing Cars 保時捷電動方程式車隊賽車手帶CNN特派員走訪保時捷博物館，近距離欣賞保時捷傳奇車款，細數它們在賽車場上的豐功偉業。 生活 Creepy-Crawly Cuisine 昆蟲料理 環保又營養的替代糧食 Could Insects Be the Food of the Future? 糧食短缺問題日益嚴重，富含各種營養素的昆蟲成為新興的替代糧食，不過要如何克服消費者的心理障礙，就是讓業者和大廚頭痛的課題了。 社會 Capital Defense 倫敦的保命屏障──泰晤士河防洪閘 Floods Caused by Sea Level Rise Could Devastate London 30多年來守護倫敦不受水患侵襲的泰晤士河防洪閘在氣候變遷衝擊下逐漸不敷使用，急需更大型、更先進的防洪措施取代。 旅遊 Towering Vista 登上哈里發塔 美景盡收眼前 Exploring the Sights and Sounds of Downtown Dubai 全球最高建築哈里發塔吸引無數旅客前來朝聖，無論是在塔上鳥瞰阿拉伯灣，或是在地面上瞻仰這座摩天大樓，都是絕無僅有的視覺饗宴。 CNN 全球瞭望 Donald Trump Acquitted 川普獲判無罪 彈劾案不成立 Storm Ciara Aids Subsonic Flight Record 英國航空紐約至倫敦班機亞音速飛行創紀錄 Jeff Bezos Pledges Billions for Climate Change 對抗氣候變遷 傑夫．貝佐斯大手筆贊助 CNN主編教你唸 知名服飾品牌 全方位搞懂CNN China’s New Forbidden City 防疫最前線 武漢封城紀實

nvvopn The Sensational Seven 席捲全球超級韓流旋風──防彈少年團 The DNA of K-pop Superstars BTS BIANCA NOBILO, “THE BRIEF” This is the biggest boy band in the world: BTS. The group dominates the multibillion-dollar K-pop industry. It’s got seven members, all known for their colorful haircuts, slick dancing and record-breaking album sales. In 2019, they became the first group in history to spend five weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 Chart. Their most recent record sold more than three million copies in South Korea alone, making it the country’s best-selling album of all time. BTS also holds the world record for the most YouTube music video views in 24 hours—a massive 74.6 million. But great success breeds great expectations. The band’s new album comes out on Friday, so expect colossal scrutiny. BTS aren’t overnight stars. The group was manufactured in 2013, created as a hip-hop act by start-up label Big Hit Entertainment. Originally, the name was drawn from the Korean expression bangtan sonyeondan, which roughly translates to Bulletproof Boy Scouts, but then, they began attracting fans in the U.S. and around the world. This is them appearing on Saturday Night Live. In 2017, BTS announced their name would officially stand for Beyond The Scene. The K-pop industry is notoriously high-pressured. To break into it, BTS members assumed stage names and shared details about their work and lives on social media, bringing them ever closer to their legions of fans, and a legion it is—over 24 million followers and counting on Twitter, many of whom are fiercely loyal. And it’s these fans, known as the A.R.M.Y, who’ve driven the band from [a] popular group to global superstars. Many of them stream BTS’ songs constantly to ensure the act keeps breaking records. A.R.M.Y members also run fan websites, pack concert venues and monitor media coverage. Elements of the fandom are notorious. Some of the band’s followers can be sensitive to any perceived slight. But BTS know the importance of that fan base, and they never forget to thank them. RM, BAND LEADER & RAPPER, BTS We’re living the dream. So, I just [have] to say thanks to all of the A.R.M.Ys. They made us. They gave us … they give us force. BIANCA NOBILO, “THE BRIEF” So, what can we expect from BTS’ latest album? Well, watch out for more streaming records to be broken and more stadiums to sell out. While some boy bands struggle with the pressures [of] early success, this group shows no signs of slowing down. 《簡報快訊》 碧安卡．諾比羅 這是全球最紅的男孩團體：防彈少年團。這個團體稱霸價值數十億美元的韓國流行音樂產業。該團體共有七名成員，以其色彩繽紛的髮型、流暢的舞步和破紀錄的專輯銷售量聞名。 二○一九年，他們成為史上第一個雄踞告示牌百大藝人榜首五週的團體。他們最近期的唱片光是在韓國就賣出了三百多萬張，成為該國史上最暢銷專輯。 防彈少年團還保有YouTube音樂影片二十四小時內獲得最多觀看次數的世界紀錄──多達七千四百六十萬次。不過，巨大的成功也帶來了高度的期待。該團的新專輯在本週五推出，可以想見會有很多人睜大眼睛瞧！ 防彈少年團並非一夜成名的明星。這個團體於二○一三年成軍，是一家新創唱片公司Big Hit娛樂推出的嘻哈表演團體。起初團名是取自韓語「bangtan sonyeondan」，可粗略翻成防彈少年團，但是後來他們開始吸引美國及世界各地的歌迷。這是他們上《週六夜現場》的畫面。二○一七年，防彈少年團宣布他們的團名正式代表的意義為飛越現狀。 韓國流行音樂產業素以高壓聞名。為了打進這個市場，防彈少年團成員使用藝名，在社群媒體上分享自己工作與生活的點點滴滴，更加拉近他們與粉絲大軍的距離，是軍團無誤──推特上有超過兩千四百萬的追蹤者，而且持續增加中，其中不乏死忠支持者。而且推動這個團體從人氣團體搖身成為國際超級巨星的就是這群人稱A.R.M.Y的歌迷。當中有很多人不間斷地串流播放防彈少年團的歌，確保這個團體能持續創紀錄。A.R.M.Y的成員也經營粉絲網站、塞爆演唱會會場以及密切注意媒體報導。粉絲圈中有些人惡名在外。該團的部分追蹤者對一絲絲的冷落都會感到受傷。但防彈少年團知道那個粉絲群的重要性，而他們也從未忘記表達對他們的感謝。 防彈少年團團長兼饒舌歌手 RM 我們在實現著夢想。我要向所有A.R.M.Y說謝謝。他們成就了我們，他們給我們……他們給予我們力量。 《簡報快訊》 碧安卡．諾比羅 那麼防彈少年團最新的專輯我們可以期待什麼呢？這個嘛，留意一下會有更多的串流紀錄被打破，還有更多場館門票售罄的消息。雖然有些男孩團體因成名早而備感壓力，這個團體卻絲毫沒有走下坡的跡象。 政治 Bernie or Biden? 2020美國大選 民主黨雙雄鹿死誰手？ Who Will Face Trump in the 2020 US Presidential Election? 2020年美國大選初選的「超級星期二」，被視為民主黨候選人喬．拜登和伯尼．桑德斯的雙強廝殺。拿下此役的候選人，極有可能代表民主黨，挑戰現任總統川普的大位。 經濟 Viral Impact 新冠病毒蔓延 重創全球經濟 Coronavirus Is Taking Tolls on the Economy around the World 新冠病毒除了對全民健康帶來危害，對全球經濟帶來的衝擊也迅速發酵。旅遊觀光業和運輸業首當其衝，製造業、科技業，甚至娛樂產業也幾乎停擺。 體育 The Games under Threat 新冠病毒疫情燒不停 2020東京奧運確定延期 The Coronavirus Casts a Shadow over the Tokyo Olympics 國際奧會宣布原定7月24日開幕的2020東京奧運最遲延至明年夏季舉行。本則報導回顧主辦單位及運動員因奧運延辦與否所面臨的糾結與掙扎。 娛樂 The Sensational Seven 席捲全球超級韓流旋風──防彈少年團 The DNA of K-pop Superstars BTS 韓流團體BTS不只紅遍亞洲，更擄獲歐美粉絲的心。成軍於2013的BTS，至今人氣絲毫沒有減弱的跡象，仍在不斷改寫各項紀錄。 科學 Not Just ArmStrong 想當太空人？你得克服這些挑戰 The Mental and Physical Skills Required to Be an Astronaut 想成為太空人需要符合哪些生理及心理層面的條件，又會面臨哪些令人意想不到的挑戰呢？美國太空總署的科學家來解答。 環境 The Melting Point 地球冰庫解凍中！南極融冰速度創新高 Antarctica Sees Its Hottest Day on Record 南極在今年2月歷經破紀錄高溫，接連9天的熱浪導致大片覆雪融化，恐對全球環境造成不可逆的傷害。 社會 Swarm of the Worlds 東非蝗災肆虐 千萬人面臨糧食危機 Locusts Devastate Farmland and Crops in East Africa 沙漠蝗蟲大舉入侵東非。專家估計，光是小型蟲群，每天吃掉的作物量就可供3萬5千人食用，對本來就缺乏糧食的非洲國家而言無疑是雪上加霜。 藝文 The Highland Harmony 悠揚的高地之聲：蘇格蘭風笛 The Bagpipes: The Iconic Traditional Instrument of Scotland 風笛的樂聲高亢悠揚，是蘇格蘭高地民族的代表樂器，但要用它吹出聲音可不是一件容易的事！ 生活 Age of No Touch 防疫社交禮儀 從「不握手」開始 Practicing Good Etiquette during the Coronavirus Crisis 接觸傳染是新冠病毒的傳染途徑之一，專家呼籲應避免握手等社交接觸，各種取而代之的創意問候法也應運而生。 旅遊 Treading around Tinseltown 轉角遇到大明星 五光十色洛杉磯 Discovering the Showbiz Magic of Downtown LA 洛杉磯是好萊塢的所在地，眾多影視景點讓影迷們趨之若騖，還有可能在路上見到大明星！ CNN 全球瞭望 Bob Iger Steps Down from Disney 迪士尼執行長鮑伯．艾格辭職 AI Antibiotic Breakthrough 人工智慧找出強效抗生素 Maria Sharapova Retires 瑪麗亞．莎拉波娃宣布退休 全方位搞懂CNN Movie Mogul Harvey Weinstein Convicted Me Too 運動里程碑 電影大亨哈維．溫斯坦遭定罪 CNN主編教你唸 經典男孩團體

Book Description
Do liberal Western democracies share a common understanding of democracy? If so, why is there a transatlantic divide over the promotion of democracy? While the US applies a bottom-up strategy in this respect, the European Union pursues a top-down approach. While there is consensus as to the desirability of the external promotion of democracy, disagreement persists as to what kinds of strategies work more effectively. This book suggests that differences between the US and Europe in terms of the promotion of democracy derive from different historical backgrounds, experiences with political modernisation and, hence, historically embedded conceptions of democracy. Democracy promoters choose instruments that advance their vision of an ideal transition and that are congruent with their respective understandings of democracy. This book's analysis of media debates in four Western democracies reveals different understandings with regard to the key aspects of democracy across the Atlantic and contributes to research on the transatlantic divide in this regard.

Book Description
The deep sea covers over 60% of the surface of the earth, yet less than 1% has been scientifically investigated. There is growing pressure on deep-sea resources and on researchers to deliver information on biodiversity and the effects of human impacts on deep-sea ecosystems. Although scientific knowledge has increased rapidly in recent decades, there exist large gaps in global sampling coverage of the deep sea, and major efforts continue to be directed into offshore research. Biological Sampling in the Deep Sea represents the first comprehensive compilation of deep-sea sampling methodologies for a range of habitats. It reviews the real life applications of current, and in some instances developing, deep-sea sampling tools and techniques. In creating this book the authors have been able to draw upon the experiences of those at the coal face of deep-sea sampling, expanding on the existing methodological texts whilst encompassing a level of technical detail often omitted from journal publications. Ultimately the book will promote international consistency in sampling approaches and data collection, advance the integration of information into global databases, and facilitate improved data analyses and consequently uptake of science results for the management and conservation of the deep-sea environment. The book will appeal to a range of readers, including students, early-career through to seasoned researchers, as well as environmental managers and policy makers wishing to understand how the deep-sea is sampled, the challenges associated with deep survey work, and the type of information that can be obtained.

Book Description
Sets out a comprehensive framework of analysis for security studies, examining the distinctive character and dynamics of security in five sectors: military, political, economic, environmental, and societal. It rejects traditionalists' case for restricting security in one sector, arguing that security is a particular type of politics applicable to a wide range of issues, and offers a constructivist operational method for distinguishing the process of securitization from that of politicization.

Recognizing rapidly ageing population is one key concern faced by cities and the challenge it would present to healthcare system, this book looks at ageing in China’s population as well as the delivery and financing of long-term care (LTC) in China. The book compares key features of long-term care insurance (LTCI) schemes in 15 pilot cities and evaluates the sustainability of various financing models adopted by the cities in the LTCI schemes. The book uses an interpretive case study approach to give an in-depth look into the LTC models in three pilot cities – Qingdao, Nantong, and Shanghai. The three cities represent three different models of financing and delivering LTC. To assess how effective the LTC models in these three cities are, the book uses five criteria, including utilization of medical resources, cost, equity, quality of care and sustainability. Also, the authors discuss how the financing and delivery of LTC can be improved in China, the impact of the 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on older adults in need of LTC in the country and the implications of China’s LTCI reform for other countries. The book will be a useful reference to scholars and policy-makers who look at urban ageing and healthcare costs and delivery.
